Mozart and Schubert
Flute Quartet No. 1 in D Major, K. 285 - Mozart
Octet for Winds and Strings in F Major, D. 803 - Schubert
The music of a composer’s most memorable full-scale works is often inspired by earlier compositions or composers. The Flute Quartet, the first movement of which Beethoven borrowed for his Duo for Clarinet and Bassoon in 1792, foretells the creation of
Mozart’s later masterpiece, the Piano Concerto in A Major, K. 488. The brief second movement of the Quartet, a romantic troubadour song, contains subtle hints of the
concerto’s slow movement yet to come. In like fashion, Schubert composed with an eye to the future. By his own admission, the purpose of the six movement Octet, which draws on Beethoven’s Septet Op. 20, was to prepare and plan his later Symphony in C Major (called The Great). Join members of the IPO string and wind sections in Ravisloe’s
beautiful Great Hall for an intimate look at these two important musical forerunners.
